A lot of network, banking, and telephony protocols historically rely on trusting that there are no bad actors in the chain. Technology has added more links to the chain increasing the opportunities for bad actors to tap into it.

Their wish to break the first rule of network security (you can't trust the client) shouldn't be everyone else's problem.
